IMPRovnD- WRINGING-MACHINE.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part cf the same,

' This invention relates to improvements in clothes-` wringing machines, whereby it is designed to provide a more simple and effective machine than any nowin use.

It consists of an improved arrangement' of the adjl'ist-ing-supports ofthe adjustable roller.

Also, ot' improvements in the arrangement ofthe supporting-brackets for connection with the roller-supports.

Figure l represents a broken end elevation of our improved machine'.

. Figure 2 represents a partial plan view ofthe same.

Similar letters of' `reference indica-te corresponding parts.

A represents the bearings for the loweryroller, which are permanently xed to the top ofthe brackets B, having the vertical projections G and D, and the setscrews E, for securing them to the tub, in the ordinary manner, and which are provided, according to our improved arrangement', with the lateral extensions F, for attachment to and for the more permanent snpport of the roller-bearings A, which are connected thereto by the bolts G, serving also for the connection ofthe adjustable bearings H of the adjustable roller, which are provided with enlargements or chambers, I,

opening through the top, and extending ldownward a.

suitable distance coincident with the holes for the bolts, and capable of receiving the springs K, through the axis of which the' said bolts pass,l receiving the tightening-nuts L on the top thereof'.

rlhe said springs may be made of any suitable material, and in any preferred form. Ve propose, however, to employ vulcanized India rubber; and We propose to so arrange the relative height of the bolts,

and the top ,of the movable bearings, that tightly-fitting covers or caps, M, inay be pivoted to the tops ot' the bearingsto'cover the chambers I, to prevent the admission of water or other deteriorating substance to the presence 'of the springs; and we prefer to arrange the said caps'asrepresented in the drawingswhereby they are lnore easily displaced for the inspection or adjustment ofthe springs.

Either one or both of the holes through the brackets .for the bolts G may be elongated transversely, to admit of the adjustment of the brackets to the curvature of the tubes of different cnrvatures, so that the face of the projections C may bear fair on the inner surface ofthe sident' the tub; or, if preferred, the projection D maybe formed separately from the horizontal part of the bracket, and be so attached thereto as to oscillate horizontally for adjustment to the said The bearings of each end may be connected together by a plate, or strip of wood, or other substance, connected 'by its ends to the iixed bearings above the brackets, as represented at N, and the upper surface thereof inclined downward toward the interior of the exuding from the clothes back into the tub.

The rollers O and P may be formed of any preferred material, and operated by a crank, in the usual manner, and they may be geared together, if preferred.

tub, thereby forming a water-shed, to convey the water The simplicity', and consequent cheapness, as wellv as the effect-ive qualities of this arrangement, will be readily perceived. 4

Having thus described our invention,

le claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination of the bearings A and H with the bolts G and springs K, arranged upon both sides of the rollers, the bolts extending throughv the lower bearing A, substantially as and for the purpose specitied.

2. rfhe brackets B, when extended at'F to support the bearings for the lower'roller, and to receivethe outer bolt G, which connects the two bearings together, substantially as and for the purposedescribed.

3. The combination of the brackets B, with their extensions F, the bearings A and H, bolts G, springs di, and rollers 0 and 1),-all arranged substantially as and for the purpose described.-

The above specification of our invention signed by us., this 6th day of' October, 1868.
